The result is a heavy death/thrash record that sounds cheaply recorded, but fits really well into the 1990 era of death metal. "Sepelio en el Mar" still has a lot of the thrash riffing of the first album, but the style takes from death metal in the US for inspiration. It is clear on their second full-length studio album that Transmetal discovered death metal while supporting bigger metal bands for the last few releases. The actual producer was once again Victor Baldovinos. Another interesting myth surrounding another Transmetal album is that this was produced by none other than Eric Grief, who was a well known fixture in early death metal and a close friend of Chuck Schuldiner of Death. Two years later they released a version of this album but with lyrics written in English, through Grindcore Records. Released in 1990 through Avanzada Metálica (on LP) and Discos y Cintas Denver (on CD). "Sepelio en el Mar" (Burial at Sea) is the second studio album by Transmetal and it marks their transition into a death/thrash band. I enjoy it for it's frantic energy, primarily. The style isn't refined, technical but should appeal to fans of fast and wild speed/thrash metal. The chuggy, palm muted style of riffing likely arose from their love of bands like Celtic Frost, Accept and more obvious thrash metal bands of the era like Slayer or Dark Angel. The youthful energy and brutal nature of this type of thrash metal felt both primitive for 1988 but also just as aggressive as it needed to be. Their classic metal influences certainly show through, and these songs aren't entirely unvaried. This first release from Transmetal shows a young band fixated on extreme speed not much else. CD released on Discos Denver in 1994 including the "Desear un Funeral" Mini-Lp, but omitting track #5 "Desciende a la Oscuridad". Originally released on vinyl only by Avanzada Metálica in 1988. except 'Muerto en la Cruz' and 'Los Criminales Morrian' by Alberto Pimentel.

The first full-length release would be "Muerto en la Cruz" (Died on the Cross) Contrary to popular belief this first LP was not produced or recorded by Eric Meyer of Dark Angel fame. Their first demo would be called "Velocidad, Desecho y Metal" (Speed, Waste and Metal). The brothers Partida had been in a band called Temple de Acero, but in March 1987 they decided to start anew with a thrash/speed metal direction. Transmetal originally formed in Ciudad Azteca (Aztec City), a place that was, at the time, in the outskirts of Mexico City. I'm aiming at both information and my opinions here, but I'll separate and clearly label OPINION and INFORMATION just for your convenience. though they have lost their appeal over the years. It turns out that Transmetal is a fairly interesting band. Now that I'm armed with a year's worth of Spanish classes, Mexican wikipedia, and Google's translate it is time to demystify this longstanding groups full-length discography. The problem? In 30 years they've only put out English language versions for 2 of their 19 albums. This discography includes 31 Lossless album and their new compilation album :Clasicos II which 320Kbpsįrom the moment I first heard "Dante's Inferno" I was intrigued to learn more about this long standing, prolific death/thrash metal band from Mexico.
